woof!

If there’s an injury or two he may also play in one. I’d have thought that would be enough to secure a spot at the Euros.

Perfect for the right centre back role if we persist with three at the back.

Why wouldn’t Tierney just play left wing back if there was a problem with Robertson? We have no shortage of left-sided centre halves.

Cieran Slicker will be 19 in September and is doing very well for Man City u23s. There’s also Archie Mair at Norwich. I think both of these players may well skip the queue.

I would say Hendry, McKenna and Hamilton all look like they could play in a league such as the EPL. Morrison is the best Scottish youth defender I’ve ever seen, so I’m hopeful he’ll make the grade.

If anyone watches this tournament prepare for games of 4 quarters with long ad breaks.

He’s verging on world class and could do it no problem.

Yes, easily. However, if McTominay was playing in midfield in a 3-5-2, Jack would more likely have played as the left player of a central three and no one would have batted an eyelid i.e. McTominay, McGinn, Jack. McGinn being further forward than the defensive pairing. So now it’s McTominay, McGinn, Tierney. We need someone in there who will put pressure on the ball like Jack does, and it can’t be Callum McGregor.

I think Tierney should be asked to replicate Jack’s role, although it’s a huge blow. McKenna can play the left centre back position in a 2 or a 3.

I’ve also heard ROI as a possible.

8 weeks would be tolerable.

Celtic nearly ruined him by playing him for months when he needed an operation. His quality was always there to see and he was always destined for the top. If Scotland can get a keeper and a striker of high standard then expect very good things to follow.

It depends if we peaked at 1-1 v Israel, or if we have scope for improvement. I don’t see many Israeli players at Liverpool, Arsenal or Man Utd and if they were we’d have been hammered.

It was a poor performance regardless of formation but I’d like to see us go back to a 4-5-1. At the moment we’re just so submissive and asking for a doing.

I don’t see why we can’t beat Denmark, especially since Gilmour and Patterson are likely to be ready by then.

Did Hendry give the ball away at all? Don’t think so. Hendry should have reacted quicker for the first goal but the second goal was not his fault - there was no pressure put on the ball to stop the cross.

I think that's a fair comment, guy probably sees himself as English and wants to play for them...he's now got a sniff but no guarantee he will make the grade. He’s wasted opportunities for others at u16, 17, and 18 level by turning out for us.

He shouldn’t be in the squad if he’s not playing, he’s hardly got the physique of a natural athlete.

Hanley played in a weaker team.

I don’t like this post. Worth remembering that the players mentioned were, by definition, better than all the other ones playing at the time.

This is rubbish. He’s excelled at international level. He is also about twice as quick as McBurnie, so I’m not sure what games you’re watching.

To be fair he got MotM and he’s been performing well all season. I had assumed he would be competing for the supporting attacker role in our 3-5-2 but given his physical development he could also play as one of the middle three.

Watching the game, he’s clearly their best player but he has to go long periods without the ball. Would love to see him play for the opposition.

Hickey’s future is surely on the right for us (if indeed he remains a full back).

He doesn’t need time on the ball, which is one of the things that makes him so good. I do worry managers will look at him and think he’s too wee. It’s not an easy attitude to shift.
